Flexible Flyer PT Blaster

I recently bought several blow-up and plastic snow sleds to try. This one is the favorite of the whole family. While all other sleds go wherever they want, this sled has a steering wheel and indeed goes wherever you want. It also seems very durble - I am 180 lbs and rode it together with my 7 year old daughter, even jumping over snow bumps.

This steerable skidoo-like sled is a great addition to the normal arsenal of sliding equipment. The steering works very well, even at higher speeds, allowing perfect lines through trees, off jumps, around other sledders and across the hill should the slope become too steep. The side skis are long enough to distribute weight well and allow very zippy speeds -- it is hard to pass this sled in icy or hard pack conditions. The sled is also very sturdy and rugged enough to withstand not only big air and hard landings, but also the inevitable bashing into a fence or tree. I found it pretty difficult to assemble because the hard plastic was cold and very rigid, and the joints required some pounding to lock in place...but it might be easier if done inside when the plastic is warmer.

If you're willing to spend $60 bucks on a sled, this is the one that you want. It's fast, steers very well and has brakes. It's also going to turn heads on the sledding hill. My boy busted it out yesterday at a busy snowhill and everyone was eyeballing it. It was also the fastest thing on the hill.

I agree that it was a bit difficult to snap together (I assembled it inside), because it is made of rugged, thick plastic. But I think that that heavy duty plastic also makes it a quality product. I feel like this was a good purchase and I would definately buy this again.
